5 penny’s equal $0.05
5 dimes equal $0.50
5 quarters equal $1.25
In total that is $1.80

If you take that away from $2.06 you get $0.26.

You have 2 coins left so you have one quarter and one penny.

5 pennies = .05
5 dimes= .50
5 quarters= $1.25
Add those together and get:
1.80

Subtract 1.80 from 2.06
And you’ll get:
.26

Meaning there is a quarter and a penny left.
